SYSTEM AND METHOD TO OPTIMIZE MASS TRANSPORT VEHICLE ROUTING BASED ON TON-MILE COST INFORMATION

A system and method to optimize mass transport vehicle routing based on additional ton-mile cost information are disclosed. In one embodiment, a starting location and a plurality of customer locations associated with a warehouse and a plurality of customers, respectively, are identified. Furthermore, a plurality of pairs of locations is identified using the starting location and plurality of customer locations. Mileage cost information and ton-mile cost information are then dynamically computed for each of the plurality of pairs of locations. In addition, sets of mass transport vehicle routes between the starting location and plurality of customer locations are dynamically determined using the pairs of locations and a number of vehicles to be used. Moreover, trip cost information is computed, in real-time, for each set of mass transport vehicle routes. Also, an optimized set of mass transport vehicle routes is determined, in real-time, using the trip cost information.
